Australia has not “banned guns”. They have some very strict restrictions on who can own them, but they’re absolutely possible to obtain.

Fuck me there’s some ignorant people here.

You can get semi automatic hunting weapons relatively easily, same as in New Zealand.

The problem is, there’s enough people with a legitimate use case of firearms that banning them completely isn’t possible.

Kessler syndrome is something the Internet loves to talk about without truly understanding.

These satellites fly at a very low orbit, and will deorbit themselves within a few years if they go dead. They would likely deorbit even faster if there was a debris cloud following a collision.

He stole that from a comedian BTW, it wasn’t his joke. Still funny though.

Because the NZ economy is particularly bad right now, and our housing market is effed.

Something to remember when reading these headlines, is that Australia is a ridiculously wealthy country, in large part due to mineral wealth, and anyone in NZ can just go there and get a job.

It has almost nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with making more money.

For now, sure. They change PMs like they change underwear over there.

And they treat their indigenous people very poorly.

It’s almost entirely the cost of living VS income, very little to do with politics.

I don’t know how to describe how stupid leaving NZ for Australia because of politics would be.

How the fuck did they not get arrested?

I think they work fine as long as the hydraulic fluid is actually hydraulic fluid, and not water.

Don’t leave your drums outside in the rain.

Oh, you poor thing.
